Message ID: MC922624
Coming soon for Microsoft Viva Engage: Network admins and corporate communicators will be able to use the new Mute conversations feature to remove individual conversation threads from the Home Feed and email digests.
This feature is part of Engage’s suite of new moderation and digital safety capabilities, following the release of View-only mode and Mute user for network in July-August 2024.
Muting applies to all Engage platforms: Engage on the web, the Engage app in Microsoft Teams and Microsoft Outlook, Engage apps for iOS and Android, and Microsoft SharePoint embeds. Network admins and corporate communicators may only mute from the Engage on the web and Teams and Outlook apps. The muted status will appear in all platforms.
This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 411583.
[When this will happen:]
General Availability (Worldwide): We will begin rolling out mid-November 2024 and expect to complete by late December 2024.
[How this will affect your organization:]
Muting a conversation helps network admins and corporate communicators control which threads receive distribution in the Engage Home Feed and email digests. Muted conversations remain visible in communities and storylines and through search. Feature data are tracked in the Microsoft 365 activity log, showing who muted the conversation, the thread ID of the conversation, and the date/time the conversation was muted.
Network admins and corporate communicators will see an option to Mute conversations in feeds in the three-dot overflow menu in the top right of the conversation card:
Users are not informed when conversations are muted. Network admins and corporate communicators will see evidence of the muted conversation on the conversation card.
[What you need to do to prepare:]
This rollout will happen automatically by the specified date with no admin action required before the rollout. Review your current configuration to determine the impact for your organization. You may want to notify your users about this change and update any relevant documentation.
This feature will be available by default to Engage users with the corporate communicator and network administrator roles.

Hey there, excited readers!

With the upcoming “Mute conversations” feature, network admins and corporate communicators will have the power to silence those chatterboxes cluttering up our feeds and email digests. Say goodbye to the noise and hello to a cleaner, more focused communication experience!
This new addition is just one of the many cool updates in Engage’s bag of tricks, alongside the recent “View-only mode” and “Mute user for network” features. It’s like giving your conversation threads a volume knob – turn it down when you need some peace and quiet!
Now, let’s talk impact. This change is like having a magic wand to tidy up your digital space. Network admins and corporate communicators will have more control over what gets showcased in the Home Feed and email digests. It’s all about streamlining communication and ensuring that the right messages get the spotlight they deserve.
And the best part? Users won’t even know when a conversation is muted, so you can keep the peace without causing a stir. Plus, with all the data being tracked in the Microsoft 365 activity log, you’ll always know who hit the mute button and when.
So, mark your calendars! This update is scheduled to start rolling out mid-November 2024, with completion expected by late December 2024. No need to lift a finger – it’ll happen automatically. But hey, why not take a peek at your current setup and see how this change might impact your organization? A little heads-up to your users wouldn’t hurt either!
